I'm 99% sure that this schedule will slip way into next month, but Pokemon Special 38 releases at the very end of Feburary, and my work for Feburary is fairly small anyways, so it's alright. Now that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, I don't have to rush so much.

I just realized that these HTML charts don't really show the time in the month that each volume or chapter is done. Here's the rough order:

Publication dates for magazines at this time of the year are strange, which is why Pokemon BW is at the start of the month. However, I haven't heard anything about YA 2011-02 from fujisan yet, which is why it's in the middle of the month.

Thankfully, all three tanks are easy to edit, unless Kitoh or Satou Atsunori starts being sadistic. I haven't preordered Noririn 2 or Lying Mii-kun 1 yet because Lying Mii-kun preorders ran out and I want to order them together, but I'll do it as soon as they become available. By the way, the Lying Mii-kun LNs end next week as well on the 10th volume (11 if you count the "i" volume).

This schedule doesn't take into account the joint projects with Animexis. Nanika is in the bimonthly good! Afternoon, but it has 5 more chapters out already. The other joint project ended at 2 volumes. Even though these scripts do delay stuff, I am 2 chapters ahead on the second project, so I have a bit of a head start.

Since this joint thing with FTH and Animexis is working so well, we're most likely going to have a new triple joint project. Animexis will supply raws, FTH will edit, and I'll translate. It's also in the good! Afternoon, so the workload other than the first chapter will likely be negligible.

Update: Oh, this might happen anytime this year, but in case Katawa Shoujo comes out soon, I'll take a vacation from scanlating. Looks like it might actually happen before hell freezes over.

I heard from a friend who's working on KS they've got their fingers crossed for a January or February release. Four of the five routes are done and the last one is about 2/3 through the final draft. So weird, but yeah, it may actually be out soon.

Back in November, I started ordering Kindai Mahjong issues for $15 a pop just to see if I could drum up financial support for it with the release of volume 5. However, now that the manga is about to end, I'll just finish what I have and terminate the subscription.

I'll end up with a maximum of 4 chapters. Owada usually takes a break every third issue, so I'll probably get 3 chapters.
